This work, originally published in 1817, is one of the founding texts of modern economics. Enormously successful as a stockbroker,
David Ricardo (1772-1823) was able to lead the life of a wealthy country squire, while his intellectual interests caused him
to move in the circles of Thomas Malthus and James Mill. It was at Mill's urging that Ricardo published this book, entered
Parliament in 1819 (as an independent member for a rotten Irish borough) and worked for financial and parliamentary reform.
Ricardo argues in this work that Adam Smith was mistaken in his understanding of the economic significance of rent, and also
demonstrates the mutual benefit of free trade between countries, as against protectionism. The book's findings and conclusions
have been controversial since its publication, but led John Stuart Mill to judge Ricardo 'the greatest political economist'

This volume focuses on Ricardoïs shorter essays printed in the Morning Chronicle, which deal exclusively with his thoughts
on the inflationary monetary policy of the Bank of England and Britainïs consequent Bullion Crises. In these essays, the
genesis of Ricardoïs theory of hard money emerges as a tool to hedge against inflation using metallic currency. The Bullion
Committee, created by the House of Commons in 1819, subsequently adopted his recommendations. His writings here gave rise
to the currency school of hard money

by one of his brothers that sheds light about his family, his formative youth, and his education. There are chapters on his
entrance into the stock market as a mere teenager and records of his meteoric climb within the financial community to an extremely
successful station

David Ricardo and T. R. Malthus shared an endearing friendship despite a contentious divergence of opinion on many political
economic issues. This volume contains the formal remnants of their differences. Ricardo analyzes, issue-by-issue, his points
of divergence to Malthusïs Principles of Political Economy. Malthusïs contributions to political economics generally concern
his bleak forecast that a geometrically growing population would surpass the arithmetically growing capacity of essential
natural resources
